ERYNGIUM, Tournefort. From ercugo, to belch ;
according to Dioscorides, this plant is a specific

Linn. 5, Or. 2, Nat. Or. ApiàceiE. Most of
the species of this extensive genus are extremely
ornamental and beautiful, more especially
the hardier kinds, which are, on that
account, particularly well adapted for the
flower-border. They thrive best in a light
sandy soil, though they will all grow in any
common garden soil. The greenhouse and
frame kinds should be grown in pots, so that
they may be sheltered in winter. They are
readily increased by seeds, or dividing at the
roots. The roots of E. campèstre are' slightly
aromatic.
